AICost alternatives
AICost estimates the monthly cost of AI model APIs and subscriptions from vendor token prices. It includes a token counter, per-model rate comparisons for input, output and cached tokens, and a subscription versus API calculator. When choosing a replacement, consider which of these you need: token counting, a multi-vendor price table, benchmark-based model selection, or a calculator limited to one provider.
